George Kamikawa does busking

[mccheeseburger01]

This guy is awesome brought his CD a few years back!

[eGGsplore]

fantasmic!

makes me wonder whether "western" is just another historic misinterpretation; there are some techniques that David Lindley might have been inspired by; i do hope that you leave melbourne at some point to do a global tour; this music belongs to the world; let it roll, man

[moopadoopolus]

Fucking energy!

[Ramenbowl]

This guys is the king of busking in Melbourne IMO!!!

Gladly drop my coinage to this legend any day I pass him :)

[KingEthio12]

I saw George today on Bourk Street Mall!

he is the most amazing/talented musician i have ever seen :)

He uses a good mix of the instruments :)

i am going back to the city tomorrow and i will 100% definately go back and watch him play because he is absolutely fantastic!!!

im going to buy his CD :)

[KidaReborn]

Very goo blues!

How does he get amplified?

I guess not by alcaline batteries...any idea anyone?

Feel free to pm me to suggest me a good way to get amplified on the road, thanks in advance :)

[jongun]

@KidaReborn car battery with an adapter so you can plug in normal electronic stuff (amps etc). Heavy but effective. You can recharge from a power point at home. Or your car!

[frnook]

Man u can Jam :)

[TwistedReality187]

[NEDM77]

This guy's brilliant.

[edouardfilho]

This guy is Great. Saw him buskin in Melbourn this year and HAD to buy a CD...

[paolitas7]

congratulations very good performer! bravo!!

[NATVUnderGround]

Read "Million Dollar Mistakes" by music producer Moses Avalon and you will see that's it's probably a blessing that Kamikawa hasn't been picked up by a major label.

[kristkerkenekov]

The man is a musical god, i'm surprised he hasnt been picked up by some massive company and doing massive concerts on TV and such,

Saw him play live today, 4 instruments, 1 man, amazin music and coordination. You dont get this often.

I wish the best of luck for this man in his career!

[Tonefid115]

Fantastic!

[BoostMobileAirBusk]

this video rocks. you should enter the boost mobile air busk challenge, you would win $5000 for rocking out.

[DemiGuy]

I see why you call him the king of the buskers :D

I am amazed at the sound quality you captured, congrats :D

Blame his fan, It is not his idea. Also don't be so harsh on the kind of music you don't like.

[FamousReporter]

In Melbourne City, Australia

[b1ackic3]

do ya have any idea how much he earns a month.. allot of money that's for sure .

[FamousReporter]

I am sure his motivation of becoming that good is not money alone. No, I dont know how much he makes a month.

[gr8jox]

i dnt like that kind of music but i respect other ppl do

[INarutoShippuden]

it really isn't that bad

and i don't like this genre of music most of the times

[gaarn4000]

I love how at 4:48 someone gives him a tip and WHILE PLAYING his harmonica he manages to grunt "thank you" and keep going. 5/5 amazing dude!

[Goldy151515]

Rofl yea!

[stuijn]

i thought i heard him say that! that was awesome!

[12233445566abc]

Oh Melbourne City...is it because they are racist?

[milamber3790]

not all of us, but if you look in every city your bound to find a fair few racists

[12233445566abc]

Man - what city is that? The people look so negative.

[pinwizz69]

Yeh baby, G.K. is living proof,DA BluesRules and Thank God America is the home of so many musical styles simply ,cause music should always be free of tyrany!! Keep on Groovin, BIG G.K.!!! P.S.Japanese girls are OOBIEDOOBIE HOT

[SalchichaPolaca]

ohh amen!!

[lemonzor]

dude this guy lives in australia not america GO AUSTRALIA

[RAFLBOWSER]

damn godlike

[69ColinniloC69]

Wow, I live there and have never seen him. Incredible!

[Mcshizo619]

haha, same here. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for him next time I'm on Bourke Street

[Rahwbin]

That dude is awesome!

[lemonzor]

[milamber3790]

i know he was at burke street yesterday. so he plays on a monday... duno if its every monday tho

[AheetHeta666]

nice

[DimitrisLost]

from Pearl Harbor to this...

i love globalization !!!!

5/5

[milamber3790]

dude pearl harbour, wtf? if your gonna start laying blame on people for the crimes their countries have commited then you dont have to look much further than america and australia. you know how many people died at hiroshima and nagasaki when the americans dropped the bombs on them? or how many aboriginals died cos australians wanted hunting game?

[moikanos11]

yeah....god bless you saying this...

[o0xDoeyx0o]

It was actually the English and the convicts they brought over here that massacred the Aboriginals. I'm not being racist or anything, whats past is past, no point holding grudges. I mean there are Jews that live in Germany peacefully even after the one of the biggest genocides ever attempted by Hitler. I'm just saying is all, not trying to get in anyone's faces, we have the UN for that lol

[kennyuscg]

awesome work george!

btw, taufiq1991... his music is called blues...

there is a big difference between country and blues..

[taufiq1991]

hah ic i dont know bout music much

[taufiq1991]

haha a japanese singing country. awesome.

[xwrisri8mo]

athene

[videolover428]

sick

[aliasxvi]

you are absolutely AMAZING. I guarantee that if you sold your CDs with video as well (dunno if you already do) that they would sell a lot quicker! AGAIN! you're amazing keep it up!

[FamousReporter]

I will tell him about it, as his fan and cameraman

[lazza00]

Awesome!

[ironpuppy1]

this guy should be rich not playing on the streets for change and sellin cds

[milamber3790]

what a lot of people dont realise is that you can make a shitload of money busking, especially if youre that good at what you do. i've got friends who busk on the weekend and rake in a bit. and i'm not sure but i think George does do a few gigs here and there...

[razryan]

Amazing! and much props to you for doing it infront of all thoughs people! Can't believe half of them was were just walking past not watching.. Thet'll certainly be regretting it when they'll have to pay to see it soon! xD

[WhysoseriousPeter]

[DarkApostasy]
